GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 669795
Toolbox can't be shrinked to 1 or 2 columns
Last modified: 2012-07-30 16:33:18 UTC
When the toolbox has another dock attached to it, it can't be reduced to one or two columns anymore. Steps to reproduce: - In single or multi window mode, dock any dockable window next to the toolbox - Try to reduce the toolbox's width using the resize bar to less than 3 cols
No dock is usable in such a narrow state, just don't have a dialog docked below the toolbox.

You got me wrong Michael, I'm not docking another window *below* the toolbox but *right* to it. See the screenshot attached above.
By the way, I've found a more tricky aspect to this bug: in single-window mode, if you have the toolbox alone, shrinked to two "tools columns", and then you try to dock another window right to it, the toolbox will be expanded to three cols and the new docked window will be 90% hidden and impossible to resize it.
Uh, how disturbing, reopening.
Also when a new toolbox is created with CTRL/b it is created at only two columns and cannot be moved. (the Gimp logo is also missing from the window header bar) Dragging it out to 3 columns makes the logo appear and it is then moveable. I suspect this is related to this bug - if not then please advise and I will open another.
I suspect that the bug is due to the "You can drop dockable dialogs here" textbox having a fixed width. Also, can someone please try to reproduce the bug with the simple steps in the bug description, so it can be put in Confirmed state?
Fixed in master and 2-8: commit 3445d5f214f9cb64697085541bd449a6b8c56091 Author: Michael Natterer <mitch@gimp.org> Date: Mon Jul 30 18:04:27 2012 +0200 Bug 669795 - Toolbox can't be shrinked to 1 or 2 columns Reduce the requested width of the "You can drop foo here" label to 16 pixels, which makes is look a bit crappy, but at least the toolbox becomes shrinkable to < 3 columns. Whoever keeps this empty space around without using it shall henceforth be punished by having to see that distorted and misplaced label.
